Since we are based in New York City, NYC Fleet Week has always held a special place in our hearts. This year we had the honor of being invited to visit one of the participating ships, the USS Kearsarge, while still at sea and join her and her crew on their journey toward New York for Fleet Week. It was an amazing experience and hopefully our images in this issue do it justice. We hope you enjoy and encourage you to participate in any Fleet Week activities that may occur in or near your home!
For this issue, we've traveled near and far to bring you more of the great content you've become used to. From out at sea on the deck of the Kearsarge to the skies above Sun n' Fun and Atlantic Trident 17 - you'll have plenty to keep you busy as we work on our next issue. Spoiler alert: We pay another visit to our good friends at the US Coast Guard! But for now, enjoy this issue and we can't wait to share more with you very soon!
